ABSTRACT
In
a fluid (liquid or gas) at rest, the isobars are horizontal surface.
This fluid dynamic balance theorem provides adequate advance to tools
and techniques for Water Quality Interpretation. We deal in this paper,
with an effective way of exploiting the familiar communicating
containers’ principle. That formally consists on providing water samples
from desired depths of rivers, oceans, retention dams, etc. The
prevailing limiting factor to achieve this feat is the length of our
sampling pipes named Mbane Bathymetric Tube (MBT) designed for this
purpose when rivers or retention dams are very deep. Providing drinking
water to urban growing populations is a challenge that no government can
escape. Therefore, improving the tools and techniques for water quality
interpretation is an adequate advance for drinking water managerial
techniques because this allows the recovery of contaminated water which
abounds on the earth by acquiring appropriate wastewater treatment
stations. The aim of the manuscript is to provide a brief theoretical
description of our designed sampling equipment to allow everyone who is
going to use it to solve in advance problems brought by Archimedes’
pressure force when experiencing the sampling pipes. Archimedes’
pressure force acts mainly when moving the sampling pipes to water lower
levels and then opening its protective cover which allows the
communication with the supply dam.
